Oral HPV Concerns

Im a 23 yr old straight male.
Around 2 years ago I dated a girl for a year. Prior to this time, I was in optimum health..... and after we began sexual activity I have suffered from several ailments.

- First thing to happen: During kissing she or I bit my inside lip, and it made 2 small red "scab colored" marks. These reappear every few weeks-months, and last for a few days before going away.

- Several weeks after the first time i performed oral sex on her, I got a bump on my tongue. That bump seems to have spread, and I now have weird bumps on my tongue, wart like things that stick out, and under my tongue I seem to be developing some. Also under my tongue I have these growth like things that look kinda like a snails eye or something...

-I then got an eye infection. Saw an opthamologist, and he said it was viral conjunctivitis. After weeks of no improvement, I saw another regular doctor. He prescribed some drops. After 3 weeks the drops didnt work, I saw another doc, he gave me some different drops, they didnt work either. Months go by, 6 maybe since the initial eye infection.I see a PA, get a zpack, and it finally clears up in about a week. The eye isnt fully better, after around a year of that zpack.... it probably was permanently damaged......its about 85%. its redder than the other, and one eyelid is always a little swollen. the eyes also feel different.

And about 3 months ago I noticed I got some warts on my genitals now...
I've been treating them with apple cider vinegar to some improvement....

What is wrong?????
Why hasnt this cleared up, its been 2 years?
what is on my tongue?

also to add.... ive had a slight sore throat for about a week now. same spot. can it be a wart in my throat???

will these turn to cancer?


Can I get an experts advice please???

Have you seen an ENT doctor?  Or an oral surgeon? If not, then you should and they should biopsy the bumps to confirm what it is. There is no FDA approved test for oral HPV but bumps can be removed and tested for the virus. Most sexually active people have multiple strains. Oral warts rarely lead to cancer. For the genital bumps you should not be treating them yourself.  Go see a dermatologist or an urologist. Your immune system does not seem strong enough to not fight the virus. About 10% of the infected get like this. You may be one of them.

some info I forgot to add.

When I saw the second doctor for the eye, I was sick at that time. Sore throat, swollen lymph node on the side of the bad eye. He said I might have gotten mono.

And after spending hundreds on dr.'s and medication, I have spent copious amounts of time reading online.....
I am going to give a brief overview of some things to possibly consider, that I have concluded to:

-The eye might have possibly been trachoma? because if the zpack helped it likely wasnt viral conjunctivitis as the opthamologist was "100% sure", which was why the other Dr.'s prescribed various drops.

- do i have multiple hpv strains or hsv or something or other that is also compromising my immune system, which is why I cant fight it off??

I try to be healthy. Non-smoker. no alcohol. drink lots of water, take vitamins, and wellness supplements.

I just want to mainly know whats going on in my mouth, what is on my tongue, why wont it go away, what will make it go away, and what risks do I have now to potential dating (which i am not in a hurry or planning on anytime soon because of this....)

thanks for reading..
